Application filed November 29,1904. Serial No. 234,805.

Be it known that l. llmou SALING, a citizen ol'liormany, rcsidingnt l5ruckhausQzi-on-tho- I l'lhine, (icrmanv, have invented new and useful improvements in lhnnpklars, of which the following is a specification. v This invention relates to a dump-car which is so constructed that the load may be discharged either at one or at both sides oi'the car. In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side view of part of a car embodying my invention; Fig. 2', a plan thereof: Fig. 3, a detail 'ertical cross-secthm through part of the car on lino D, Fig. d; Fig. t, a detail vertical longitudinal section on line E F. Fig. 3; lwig. 5, a horizontal section on line (1" H, r lg. 3-; Fig. 8 :1 vertical cross-section on line A ll, Fig. L; ind Figs. 7. i5 and 9 are crossthe slide in different posisections showing tions.

The sites of the are provided with converging lower sections l /i', Fig. 6, to form a hopper-shaped base. The liner of the car has nun'sber of centered discharge-openings r to which the load guided by the inclined hase hi and by inclined deflectors Z), rising from the car-hotto's'n intermediate the openlugs. Beneath each opening are arranged a pair of chutes '1', ldig. 6, that extend in opposite directions and merge at the centc". in Order to admit the load into either one r into both of these chutes, .l have devised the fobspindle which is in turn intergeared with a transverse horizontal shaft in. Shaft m by bevel-wheels in 10 rotates a pair ofhorizom tal longitudi. hafts simultaneously in opposite directi 4. The shafts 'w carry pinions :0, engaging transverse rocks .2 bolted to doors Thus it will he soon that by rotatmg h-annie both doors oocnings are s1- niultancouslv opened or icd.

Nhat I claim is- To the slide (1 are hinged" at p a pair of lids 0r deflectors p, of which the right lid enters the right chute, while the left lid enters the left chute. When the slide is centered, Fig. 7, the load will be evenly discharged into both chutes. if the slide is moved to the left, Fig. ii, the left chute will be closed and the entire load discharged into the right chute. the slide is moved to the right, Fig. 9. To manipulate the slide, means are provided for coupling it to either the right or ,left'door x. These means consist of transverse shafts g, turning in hearings g of doors a. of shafts g project through oblong openings (1 of slide 0 and terminate in beaks 1/... The shafts g on each side of the car are connected by levers vi to a common longitudinal drawbar having handle, h; Fig. 6. Thus by manipulating either one of the handles/i the The converse is the case when- The ends corresponding rods 9 are simultaneously turned to either engage the walls of openings or to clear the same. In this way the slides may be coupled to the right or to the left door s01 may be uncoupled from both doors. in order to return the shdeswto their central position, the doorsa areprovided with shoulders I, that take the slides along during the closing of the doors.

l. A dump-car provided with dischargeopenings, a pair of chutes beneath the same, doors for closing the openings, a transverselymovable slide, and lids hinged to the'slide and projecting into the chutes, substantially as specified.

A dump-car provided with dischargeopcnings, a pair of chutes beneath the same, sliding doors for closing the openings, a trans verselymlowible slide, lids hinged to the slide, and means for coupling the slide to either of the doors, substantially as specified.
